I don't think the proprietary nvidia driver has played nice with suspend/hibernate under Linux in any distro at any time in the past twenty years.
You underestimate the time frame, Nick and neglected to point a finger at the other guilty party, amd.
You're responding to my text in a quote there. :/
I was only speaking to own my experiences with nvidia and Linux—there was a warning in the Gentoo wiki about nvidia-drivers and hibernation at least as far back as 2005. How long it was there before that, I don't know.
As for AMD, they've improved somewhat since the 1990s, since there's almost no reason to install their proprietary driver over the open-source one anymore (I think the closed-source one may offer better support for some bleeding-edge compute stuff, that's all), meaning that the driver most people use fullly supports both card and kernel. Now, if only it didn't require llvm to be installed . . .
